Spacesaver steel emergency wheel ?

Asterix · 03-28-2006, 12:30 PM

I don't like runflat "road feeling" (very bad with 18") and I don't like having non run flat tires with mobility kit only therefore I'm looking for spacesaver wheel solutions

E46 coupe used a spacesaver steel emergency wheel with the following characteristics :
3.50B/ 17" ET 30 Tire 125/80 R17
Part # 36116750007

With this size and this offset it should work as a spare wheel for E90 . What do you think? Have you ever tried ?

I bought a space saver spare rim from BAVAUTO called M3 SPARE KIT about a couple of months ago that they thought would fit on E90. I don't remeber all the exact measurements, but I believe it was a 17", size 125/80 R17tire. Well, it didn't even go on the 330 hub and when I called them back, they said, yeah this doesn't fit on the 330. Why the heck did you sell it to me then? Later on, they took it off their web site. However, I still see references to it on their web site as an offering for e90.

Anyway, the spare you are talking might work -- it might work on e90 325 - it might not - I don't know. If you buy, make sure you can return it. And if you find one that fits on the 330, PLEASE let me know. I've already gone to non-run-flat and am carrying a full spare in my trunk I would be more than happy to replace with a space saver.

cheers,
